More of Him and less of me…what a beautiful prayer to be answered. I look forward to the depths of how He will continue to answer that in the continuing present.
Last night was just downright a beautiful night. Worshiping God in the presence of some of the most incredible people I know followed by some great chats and one of the sweetest sleeps I’ve known. I woke up this morning and remained in bed for hours silently awake just basking in His presence. I’ve longed for this for quite some time now to be honest but our schedules rarely permit a full morning of rest.
Most of my life I’ve had something inside of me that was driving me to be different. I’ve enjoyed being different. I’ve thrived with doing things differently. I’ve felt loneliness because of it. I’ve had pride because of it. I’ve craved it and disliked it…but always it remained…This morning I let go of it.
I never fully realized how much of my true identity had been stifled by the false identity of being different. However, today I lay it down because wanting more of Him and less of me comes from my heart and not my mouth.
Many people seek the heights of love but I tell you the truth that you will never know the heights of love until you know the depth of Him.
Some of you may think my new goal is to fit in or blend in. If this is you, you’re missing the point. There will be plenty of times in this life where I will blend in or stick out. The difference is that I’m learning to be faithful and obedient so the times when I do stick out or blend in will be because of His choice and not me looking for it.
